http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2009/02/mia-has-baby-boy-gets-called-terrorist#commentsWho was doing the calling "Terrorist!" of this Sri Lankan native? Why none other than our friendly former posting host The New York Times. I can understand how they broke it off, between the managing editor and the insipidly non-committal Public Editor that WSJ either forced upon them or, had not-screened(?)--or, was the Times just imploding when not getting their facts straight about the invasiveness of the fiscal interests taking them over, nor their inability to identify with accuracy the connections whenever some inept staffer got a mad on.
But when they allow themselves the gratuity of labeling someone a terrorist, I try to identify a familiar name to be sure the cast of characters makes sense from the heir-apparent's lineage in a family that has been more supportive of Manhattan and contributive in a way that The New York Times would seem to be utterly blase about.

Here's The New York Times article that started it all.
